Employers screening WoW players during recruitment? - Massively
Employers screening WoW players during recruitment?
There are also, of course, new ranks of old standbys, like Enchant Weapon: Greater Savagery, though these are not quite so interesting. I think we can safely say from the materials for these enchants that Infinite Dust is the new Arcane Dust, Cosmic Essence is the new Planar Essence, and Dream Shard is the new Large Prismatic Shard. There's also a missing item, #35047 - the new Void Crystal
Would you consider your MMO-gaming habits to be detrimental to your performance as an employee? Lucky for us, we here at Massively are kind of expected to be invested in the MMO world, but it seems that it may be best to keep your playing a secret when looking for other lines of work.
Raph Koster picked up on a thread at the f13 forums in which we learn that a recruiter in the online media industry has been told by employers numerous times to straight-up avoid World of Warcraft players. The original poster, who was chatting with the recruiter in question, mentioned some of the positives that can come from playing MMOs, but the recruiter said that none of that mattered to the employers he dealt with and WoW players would not even get a second look.
Some of the reasons cited for the rejections include bad sleeping habits, and an inability to give 100% due to a wandering mind -- presumably wandering to the next Azerothian adventure. Poor WoW has been taking all the heat lately, but it's doubtful that the fans (nor Blizzard) care too much about the bad rap. When it comes to your next job-hunt though ... we're not going to tell you to lie or anything like that, but just be a little wary of the chatty interviewer when they ask if you've checked out the latest WoW expansion, kay guys?
